Not sure why, but I'd always assumed a shot of espresso was like a concentrated giant cup of regular roast. However, a regular sized cup of espresso is a different story...
- joeycfan 17y agoI read that that is because the longer the roast the more caffeine gets destroyed. So stronger coffees are actually less buzzy.
- rdtsc 17y agoI could be just a matter of volume. The volume ratio is greater than the concentration ratio. You can say the same thing about espresso vs. soda -- drinking a shot of espresso will probably result in less caffeine than downing a large soda bottle. For example 1oz a espresso would have about 70mg of caffeine, which is less than 20oz of Diet Coke (80mg of caffeine).
